"As there seems no reason for with-holding the tale now, I want to tell you of a little affair of one of the Pratt boys over here. It is no wonderful thing as wonders in the war goes but we all think mighty well of him for it because of the real Americanism it shows.

"It was on the St. Mihiel front after the drive. We were holding the front line in a woods. Things had become very quiet that is the Boche only threw one or two hundred shells into our sector a day, aiming chiefly at the towns, cross-roads and batteries. "There had been no regular bombardment for some time, two or three days perhaps, from the American lines.

Nothing but the regular har-vassing fire from the batteries was heard. Of course at night, flares shown all along but that did not count.

Before I've found the place where I left off he calls me back to the piano and asks sweetly: 'What are these notes here, my dear? I suppose I ought to learn how to read music' "Can't he read music?" The caller was amazed.

"He doesn't know one note from the other. When the green ond white proof sheet comes back from the publisher I have to go over It with him at least hundred times to make sure It's just the way he wants it."

American wounded have been so rapidly evacuating hospitals in England that today there are but three hospitals in operation. They are operated by the American Red Cross.

These three hospitals, which ordinarily hold several thousand have but 1,000 wounded Americans in them. Two are hi Liverpool and one at Southhampton Altogether the American army and Red Cross operated 15 hospitals in Great Britain. Twelve of these have been closed. Practically all of the wounded have been sent home. More than 5,000 were taken home during the first two weeks of December.

It is expected that practically all wounded Americans will have been removed to the United States by Business Directory G. W.

"The man higher up just ordered out a daylight patrol with orders to 'go until you are fired Sounds easy doesn't it? Perhaps you do not have that acquired respect for Boche machine guns necessary to have any concern for the story. "If you do not, hire some perfectly disinterested parties say half a hundred to religiously shoot right at you for half an hour or so with 30-30 rifles. "Well, the patrol was taken from our battalion and started out to "go until fired upon." It was a nice clear day. There were patches of woods here and there that furnished some concealment. Into these the patrol pushed.

Things went lovely for an hour or more. Then life became tense. "In passing Indian file across a head of a draw some fifty yards apart, the boys found out the Boche were not all gone. Two of the men had just entered the clump of brush ahead. The machine guns down the draw opened up.

The Boche in the woods woke up. The men in the open made for shell-holes on the ground as flat as they could crawl, and a man can certainly flatten out some at The special anniversary edition of The Tribune is designed to commemorate the attainment of the third birthday and the practical completion of building up a physical plant which will be adequate to meet the requirements for years to come. It will spread before the world the resources of the community and the great Central West in general, and will be the most complete and comprehensive edition of a newspaper ever put out in Kansas. The plan contemplates sixty or more pages, and from present indications is more likely to run over that number than under. The publishers have secured the services of an expert advertising and special ature writer to have immediate charge of the anniversary number.

Wm. H. Phipps of St. iOuis, whose experience in this line of work has taken hit) into all parts of the country, will be at the service of the people of Pratt county and adjacent territory in gathering the material for the anniversary number. The edition will be throughly circulated over the county and community tributary to Pratt, as well as sending hundreds of copies broadcast over the land.

This is a tremendous undertaking and the hearty cooperation of all concerned will be necessary to get it out on schedule time. You will want to be represented, and if a solicitor does not get around to you, Call the office and one will be sent forthwith. C. PHILLIPS. D.
